It has been very long since I left my school but still I remember each and every moment I spend in my school, now I am overseas with my family and my kids are going to in different school than what I went to. Few weeks back I attended my daughter’s first day school orientation and here is my experience.

When I reached to the orientation it was very organized, they have started the function with greeting and introduction which kept me stunted when they started to introduced that here is our kindergarten teachers, yes that what we all had and then there is speech therapist, then there is carrier consular then there is a full time nurse and doctor then there is nutriologist. There is sports teacher, there is an art teacher, there a music teacher then there is physical health teacher and list just goes on. This was elementary school yes from K to 5th grade but the amount of facilities they have it is out of the chart. When I compare this to my school, we just had a PT teacher and Drawing teacher apart from the regular subject teachers.

When I look around with the today’s school system it just surprise me , yes in good way that now a day kids and so much to explore , so much to learn and they get right guidance, they get to choose what they want to do. I still remember that I use to do good painting while in the school but I have never been supported or promoted to do more of it instead I have been discourage that, is that you are going to do for rest of your life, even the sports was just for sake and I don’t remember I have played or got chance to play any games. The story might be different for different people but somewhat same around the school system in work. There is no place for art or sports, only studies and grades are the benchmark for the student’s ability to success in the life. How we are going to create artist or good sportsman if we are not focus on it. How are going to address he issue of kid which has been going in depression. How are going to keep their medical needs. School back in India need to answer these questions.

I don’t know the current situation in Indian school but if they have changed over the time then it is really commendable but if they are not which I think they have not then there should be someone who should be looking into it, we are building our next generation and they will be responsible for coming each and every generation, if you could able to pass the right message then they will pass whatever they have learned and I will be keep happening. We should take our time and think a bit that how we want our next generation to be.
